mixed feelings

i put my 8 yr. old on a bus this morning. she is going to a camp in California for 3 days!!! i am so exctied for her, i want her to have this experience, but i can't ignore this feeling i have deep down inside. i miss her already. the camp is very structured and very informational. she will have so many hands on experiences. and i am all about that! this is just the first time she's gone off by herself. ( along with all the other 3rd graders) i put some little surprises in her backpack. she should be pretty pumped while digging thru her bags on the way there. i guess i'll just have to stay positive, not think about it too much, and look forward to her safe arrival home. i gave her a camera to document her trip. i can''t wait to see what she comes up with.
